If Text-Only Boot Was not Selected in OpenSolaris
2008.11 Installation

When installing OpenSolaris 2008.11, the "text-only" boot option from
the GRUB menu should be selected. This is the second entry. However, the following
workaround can be used if the text-only boot option is not selected.

When the GNU GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) boot menu appears
on the console, type e for edit before the boot selection
times out and starts booting the default entry.

The edit menu screen that pops up will have several lines
on it. Use the down arrow key to scroll down to the line foreground,
and type d for delete.

Repeat the Step 2 process for the line background.
Use the down arrow key to scroll down to the line that says background,
and type d for delete.

Using the arrow keys, scroll to the kernel line that contains
the boot arguments, and type e for edit. Then, delete the
entry for console=graphics.

Press Return to exit line edit and save the changes, and then
type b to continue the boot.
